International Women’s Day 2025: #AccelerateAction – Excello Schedule of Events

We are excited to share our International Women’s Day 2025 schedule, celebrating this year’s theme: #AccelerateAction. Despite progress, gender disparity remains—especially in the legal profession, where women hold just 32% of equity partner roles.
